That's the American and humane spirit! (0 / 0) ...we better be DAMN SURE they are really poor and struggling.
Yes, they better not have a "high net worth value" before our society decides to assist them with anything for their kids healthcare bills. Bills that by my estimates most likely would be in the hundreds and hundreds of thousands and that might also result in the bankruptcy of even the most average middle class family that possessed health insurance coverage. Yup, the family should have been forced to suffer more (despite the fact the kids are lucky to be alive and will have lifelong issues to deal with from the TBI's they sustained).
Yes, these people should be forced to suffer and struggle some more....they should have had to sell their small family business and been forced to give up the breadwinner's income (and he should go work at McWal-mart) ...because that is what a humane society insists upon before they provide them with healthcare assistance. Yup and they should have been forced to sell and move out of their house (that had most likely risen in value subtantially like most homes over the past decade did due to the housing bubble)and sold their granite counter tops and been forced to moved into a Section 8 funded apartment because gawd forbid they better most certainly be struggling before those kids and this family were aided by our American society in any way shape or form. That's the spirit....the American way.
I'm sorry if I sound angry and sarcastic here, (because I am after reading this post)....but perhaps you just don't fully understand just what this family went through. I have no personal knowledge of this family, but worked in a TBI rehab unit for many years....and it is one of those traumatic medical issues that can just devastate and rip apart people and their families in many many ways and not always just financially.

I so agree (0 / 0) I went and read the comments on a few blogs, including the Free Republic comments. This family was not a good choice and its very upsetting because there ARE good choices of families that the taxpayers want to help who have benefited from this program.
Anyone capable of a minimal amount of critical analysis would be wary that this is a family that might have other income that they are not required to report on their income taxes. Whether they have that income or not doesn't matter once the reader thinks, "HMMMM. Mr. Frost's parents and/or Mrs. Frost's parents could be paying that tuition and could be giving each member of the family up to $12,000 a year as a gift and as far as we can tell, it would not affect SCHIP eligibility."

Looks like they are watching us watching them watching us watching them, sort of.

Exactly...Washington liberals tax these people out their ass for everything, and then it's only normal for the rest of the country to pay health care for their children..
hey, moonbat boy..Reduce the taxes so they can AFFORD health insurance for their own family.
The logic that moonbat displays is SO SCREWED UP.
